Implementing lean manufacturing is a complex and everlasting task. The workers involvingin production processes are the pivot of the lean manufacturing implementation. Training is known asa vehicle to assist the implementation process. Despite awareness of the training importance, so far, alittle is available to assist to organise an efficient training. This paper summarises the overview of leanmanufacturing and discuss the importance of human resource within lean implementation process. Itthen proposes a training framework for production workers in lean environment.
